I’m sorry to hear this. Mario was one of the people who signed [the open letter](https://nixos-users-against-mic-sponsorship.github.io/) opposing MIC sponsorship.

To those who may be alarmed, I’d like to ease your concerns. I’m **hopeful that the other signatories will not quit** , as I believe we can find a satisfactory resolution.

For more context, please see [this thread](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-foundation-event-sponsorship-policy/43110).
